The characteristic A and B both are expressed using the following equations:
DIFL-I1
DIFL-I2
DIFL-I1
DIFL-Slope1
DIFL-Slope2
Equation (2.2-1) and (2.2-2) shows the characteristic A and B, respectively. The user can
set minimum internal fault current using setting [DIFL-I1]. The user can set the knee, which
is referred as crossing point characteristic A and B, using setting [DIFL-I2]. Restraint settings
of the characteristic A and B in percentage are available using settings [DIFL-Slope1] and
[DIFL-Slope2].
(ii) Characteristic of Inflowing and Outflowing currents plane
Figure 2.2-2 provides another expression corresponding to the Figure 2.2-1; the characteristic
is expressed on the plane between the outflowing current (I
out
) axis and inflowing current (I
in
)
axis. Regarding to the I
out
–I
in
plain, the DIF operation is performed in the hatched area of
this figure.
